Hi,<br><br>I have a PVR 150 and its ok, not 100% the quality of my DVB-T SD card but good enough (took me an hour or to to get used to it). The PVR-150 Low profile might actualy be a 250 card, Iīm very insure of this but go look on the IVTV mailing list if itīs important.
<br><br>On my HTPC I had to set pci-latency to a higher value in bios and then lower the pvr-150 (mce edition) to avoid DMA errors while using multiple tuners. I think this DMA issue is gone in the latest 10 drivers and also is a none issue with the pvr 500 card.
<br><br>Also note that using both DVB-T and and the pvr-150 might need a bit of work since the DVB-T drivers seems to include a broken ivtv driver, this is only an issue if your dvb card isnīt supported directly in your kernel.
<br><br>If you have a new dvb-t card that not is in yoyr kernel simply do the following when installing the linuxtv drivers.<br>make menuconfig, unselect video4linux, unselect everything except your dvb-t card, make, make install.

All of the pvr150's on newegg's site are virtually the same. The difference being low profile, FM tuners, or bundled items.<br><br>I got the pvr150MCE because it came with the nice MCE remote. <br><br>Mitchell<div>

<div></div>Which pvr-150 would you recommend? A quick search on newegg for
"hauppauge" returns several pvr-150 at several varied prices. Do some have
better specs than other? I dont really care about an FM tuner. Thank
you! <br><br>-Jasn<br><br>

pvr150 offers great quality. If you put the picture on a HDTV it wont
look the best but that is with any source. If you want hdtv, recording
hd will look great but if a hd capture card is used to record SD content that
will look way worse then a 150 as the hd card will be a simple
framegrabber. <br><br>Mitchell<br><br>

<div><span>Hello!<br><br>It has been
observations that the pvr-150 does not deliver the same video quality as if
the tv was directly connected to the normal cable line. I was wonding
if anyone had any suggestions on other cards to buy that can deliver better
quality? I am currently using Charter digital cable, and they offer a
few HD-channels. If I get an HD capture card, can I use that same card
on the channels that are not HD? Do I need to be concerned about
anything because it is digital cable? We have other tvs that connect
directly to the cable line, rather than throught the cable box. The
only different is that these tv's can not access the on-demand stuff.
Thank you for any suggestions you can provide!
